As I watch my children grow up right before my eyes, I have been struck by how quickly time races by. My eldest son is about to turn nine years old! It seems like just yesterday that I was trying to bounce him with my foot in his bouncy-seat as…CONTINUE

These days it seems like Christians are in search of conservatism in whatever forms they can find it, and with good reason. It seems like the cultural, political, and theological wheels on the bus are falling off. As a pastor I found a number of people looking for shelter and…CONTINUE

I am and probably will be a child at heart as long as I live. Perhaps it’s in my DNA or I can blame my dad for influencing my personality—but I don’t always feel my age. In fact, I was just recently showing one of my colleagues my latest Star…CONTINUE
